Children's
Chapel
is
Coming!
Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 10:30 a.m.
The children are very excited to share their hard work with the congregation! Throughout the winter, they have explored what the Unity Church mission statement means to them. They have written their own sermon, and combed through our hymnal to find readings and hymns that they feel best represent our mission as a congregation.
We do hope you will join us for this amazing event!
For Families with Children taking part in the service:
- Children will be acting as greeters, so please arrive early. All children should be in the Sanctuary by 10:10 a.m.
- There will be a great many pictures and videos being taken, so this is a great excuse to dress up! :)
Friends and family are more than welcome to attend!
